Same here. As a Raiders fan, this is a must buy for me.

The whole point of a long running successful business is to make money and keep the customer coming back and feel appreciated.

Charging for something like this is cutting out the 2nd half of that.

The sooner you realize that "the whole point of a business" is not nickel and diming your repeated customers for products that were provided to them previously for free MANY times, the sooner we won't have to hear that cop out excuse.

Who says making the customer "feel appreciated" is part of EA's business plan regarding Madden? That has no bearing on the issue whatsoever.

As far as "coming back" is concered, I don't think that is a problem they've had to deal with in quite some time. Madden is one of EA's golden eggs with the long running success it's had.

You say it's nickel and diming and MS has set the precedence that that is the direction the gaming industry is headed. I find the eagerness to lay the blame at EA's feet almost comical.

I love how one person will post that this DLC is nothing but "overlays" and "just a topical change without adding new gameplay" all the while saying it's "nickel and diming". If it's just a topical change then why does it bother people so much? If it isn't that important or doesn't change gameplay then don't purchase it and move on.

It's just new overlays anyway, right?

someone was wondering why this was not $5 but instead $7.

well, I think the idea is that the people who are comfortable spending an extra $7 or what ever for DLC on top of $60 for the game that just release less than a month ago.... well, EA probably feels that these gamers are willing to pay the $7 and that extra $2 per purchase will make up for the gamers who will not pay $5 or even $7 for DLC.

so basically..... 3 people in this thread who are excited to pay for this DLC will make them an extra $6, which would pay for my non purchase.....if it was sold for $5.


yeah, something like that.

I will say the vid looks nice....wish they had the throw back helmets and throw back fans.

I wonder if they plan on dropping the patch and the DLC on the same day?

Very well said.

Those were hot jerseys, great game vs SD.

Yes, I'm psychic. I predicted they would package the AFL uniforms that we "SEE ON SUNDAY" with something and make us pay for it. Sorry EA, NO SALE! Not that it matters, a million kids parents will buy it.
